Loss Of My Mom

I look at the calendar, it shocks me that next week my darling older daughter will start her second year in pre-school. It has been a mild summer filled with many lessons and milestones. 1. It was brave of me to thing I can work-at-home with my two young daughters. 2.My three-year-old (almost 4) loves…

My eyes pop open awake ten minutes before the alarm even went off. The house is sleepy silent. My body still heavy with sleep but my mind and heart are jumpy with excitement. Today I get to go to school for the day. At the downtown Vancouver SFU campus, I will be attending Symposium on…

September 7th, 2008 Mommy, The last year had been such a challenge. We have been through a lot with this baby. We have worried about her health (yes we are mostly sure it’s another girl). We have had to go through so many tests and waiting for results. The latest is that the size of…

February 25th, 2008 Mommy, Holy moly! Someone has some sick sense of humor. After being a week late with my period, I made an appointment with my doctor. I have been late before, many times. I was not too worried. I thought it would be the endometriosis again. Alex teased me and said I should…

November 8th, 2006 Mommy, I thought I was going to lose my mind this morning. As I was trying to make her formula she started in on a crying fit. The pitch that would make a stranger think we were torturing her. Then she just collapsed in my arms asleep. My ears are ringing still.…

October 28th, 2006 Mom, I gave it my best shot. I did well. Yesterday all three ladies went out for shopping and lunch. Marge (Alex’s mom) spoiled me. Trinity was great. Marge did try to baby-sit many times. I wonder if she was trying to bribe me especially when she offered to send me to…

September 30th, 2006 (or whatever day it is) J Mommy, When we showed her our house, it struck us. Who allowed us to bring this precious child home? Who allowed us to be parents? Only time will tell if we could handle it together and alone. I was not ready for the awesome responsibility of…
